Rotavirus & Yellow Fever:

Rotavirus is a relatively new vaccine, with many countries only just adding it to their vaccination schedules.
Data for these vaccines have been heavily supplemented with country-reported figures, which may overestimate vaccination coverage in some cases.

General notes on data sources & methodology:

The majority of data in this section have been taken directly from the WHO vaccination coverage projections and estimates (July 2013).
However, where vaccines were added to universal vaccination programmes during 2013 or later, data revert to country-reported figures for 2013 onwards.
